Farewell 2008!

As for my final post of 2008, which I did not succeed to post in 2008, but let's just pretend :), I would like to discuss 2008 of course! I can honestly say that I have had a good year!

I finished my internship in America, where I learned a lot about myself. With thanks to my aunt, who taught me it's okay to cry....and due to that lesson, I've opened up more and wasn't always "Hi, how are you? I am doing great!" Because I wasn't always doing great, but no reason to be depressed or to feel sad for a long time, because I was doing great most of the time! But I had my ups and downs of course.

Since I was often alone in America (walking the dog, driving, working), I developed my passion for music! Listening to music became a daily thing and I've enjoyed more than I did before! So since I got back music became the base of my daily life here. Music helps me to be happy, wake up and to dance of course :)! Where there's music, there's a party and where there's a party, I am! Oh yes, even if the party is in my head :)!

I have spend more time with family and met a new aunt, who is a year older than I am...long story as always in my family! We have a lot in common and get along, so no worries there! Family has always been important to me and is now something that cannot be missed in my life!

I started the Chinese minor (and learned some Chinese) with a new class and a new attitude: no interest in school what so ever...hehe...I was more into enjoying life and laughing on a daily base (which was nothing new for me and easy to do).

I started going out weekly (and mostly twice a week), same bars/clubs, new bars/clubs, parties, house parties and I was introduced to the gay community, where I was always looking for a gay to hug. I always said what was on my mind and wasn't afraid to be honest! And this way I met new people every week and got good friendships out of it. I really enjoyed life and did what I wanted, when I wanted it....I discovered who I was and what I wanted and acted like it!

I finally started traveling, I visited San Francisco after my internship and met up with Maurits and Rik, a truly unique experience! I went to China, Spain, France (Paris) and America again! I also discovered new heights hehe and new ways to get hurt: I skied for the first time (indoors of course)! And learned that I love, absolutely love to fall!!!

I finally had my snow again in 2008, something I looked forward to for soooo long! And to keep an American tradition, I made a snow angel :). I also got sick, OMG! ME, I usually do not get sick...But there is always a first for everything! This caused me lying in bed on Christmas day...my favorite holiday, which I looked forward to for a whole year..But I made it up by going to Soultrain on the 2nd Christmas day (yes, we have 2), my favorite party (only drank water of course, couldn't risk being sick on New Year's Eve as well).

And celebrated New Year's Eve with friends, new friends that I made in 2008! I had a ball, laughed, made lots of picture, drank, texted my whole phonebook 1 by 1 to wish them a happy new year, since I could not text everyone at once!!!!!

So, this concludes that I had one hell of a year and that I am finally able to be, act and live like me, Talitha, Thaat (De Gekste/Crazy), Tali (Don Dali)!!

I wish everyone all the best for 2009 and hope that you will too have an asskicking good year!!!! So farewell 2008 and welcome 2009!

Lots of love, kisses and hugs (because I loveeee to hug), Talitha!
